Digital Media Africa 2019
Digital Media Africa 2019
Africa’s media landscape has undergone substantial changes since publishers gathered for the first Digital Media Africa conference in 2016. Join us again in September 2019 when WAN-IFRA hosts the continent-wide gathering to explore new digital revenue models and how best to engage loyal readers.
“We can come back to the main premise: Content is king. Being able to tell authentic stories through your content is always going to be what carries the day,” Alex Okosi, Viacom, Digital Media Africa 2018
"We have a newly empowered generation of customers. As we move to digital paid models we really need to think about how they consume, how they pay and what kind of format that content should be.” Jocelyn Cripps, consultant, Digital Media Africa 2018
